About this book
William A. Alcott builds his case for a vegetable and fruit diet from personal experience, letters to physicians, and accounts drawn from earlier writers. His preface describes a collection of testimony from more than a hundred individuals, with medical practitioners forming a substantial part of it. He moves from asking whether such a diet is safe to arguing that it is preferable, bringing questions of health, economy, and morals into the same discussion.
The volume also includes a section on vegetable cookery, covering breads, grains, puddings, fruits, potatoes, and other foods. In the historical examples, biblical figures and classical authors sit alongside more recent advocates, showing how Alcott gathers support across different traditions.
